The server extended firmware information is time/date stamped when the discovery or update operation is

Powering off the enclosure

There are two methods for powering off an enclosure:

Power off the PDU that powers the enclosure.

Unplug the power cable(s) to the enclosure.

There is no virtual method in the Onboard Administrator to power down an enclosure.

Linking enclosures

Linking enclosures can be done from the rear of the enclosure. See the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure
